I go up some stairs and look into a room to the south. There is a room to the south, several statues. To the west is a collapsed wall, caused by a Giant Worm! Nobody else believes that it's a Worm, but I know better.

AlinaBrowning finds some clawmarks (she thinks the BeastmenOfBordobaar dug it–pfft). RachelRoss finds some wires and blasting caps in the rubble.

RachelRoss moves through the south door, into a corridor.

We move out of the corridor into a large, multi-level room with a large statue surrounded by 4 columns in the middle. RachelRoss hears the savages coming from a doorway at the lowest level (of 3). We establish a firing position covering that doorway.
